Wowza Pro Powers Imediasee, Broadline Media's Revolutionary Fair-Priced HD
Innovative Service Enables Highly Differentiated Offerings with Unique,
Usage-Based Pricing Model
San Jose, & Oakland, CA, March 3, 2008--Wowza Media Systems, emerging
leader in streaming media server software, announced today that
Imediasee® (www.imediasee.com), Broadline Media's recently unveiled
fair-priced streaming service, has chosen the award-winning Wowza Media
Server™ Pro as its exclusive Flash® streaming platform.
Wowza Pro's superior reliability, unique TiVo-like navigation and strong
anti-ripping security functionality combined with its market-leading
pricing, enable Imediasee's very compelling and economical HD and SD
streaming services. In addition, Wowza's Java based server-side
extensibility was a key factor in Imediasee's decision.
"Our 'wow' for Wowza was their architecture," said Steve Popper, CEO,
Broadline Media Corp. "With Java programming on the server-side, Wowza was
not just a widget, but a platform for us to build on to deliver
personalized, business-critical solutions."
"Our goal," he continued, "is to offer a superior service at a flexible,
consumer-friendly price. If Wowza's incredible growth over the past year
is any indication, empowering our customers with flexible pricing and
great service is the key to success."
Unlike other common service pricing practices which result in high fees
for unused capacity or astronomical overage charges, Imediasee's empowers
customers to only pay for what they use. With a choice of either Per
Minute Streaming Packages or Per GB Streaming Packages customers can buy a
set amount to use whenever they like. What's more, there are no monthly
charges, set-up fees, or long-term contracts.
Imediasee customers are already reaping the benefits of this
ground-breaking model. Very Short Movies (VSM) online film festival
(www.veryshortmovies.com) is generating exposure for short movie
filmmakers through high-resolution video. Serge Polakoff, founder of the
VeryShortMovies.com online film festival, said, "Veryshortmovies.com chose
the Imediasee Flash video streaming service because it offers a TV-quality
on-line viewing experience critical to our filmmakers and audiences at an
unprecedented price."
"The service market has been dying for a provider like Imediasee," said
David Stubenvoll, CEO and Co-Founder, Wowza Media Systems. "With the
proliferation of streamed live events in particular, it only makes sense
to offer customers a fair-priced billing structure that's flexible to
their individual needs. We are pleased to be a part of the Broadline
visionary move in creating a highly-differentiated video streaming service
with this unique pricing approach."
